Turrets
-Spartans and Sangheili are both strong. Hence why they can rip off turrets. Right? Wrong. Even ODSTs can do it.
-Turrets are big and heavy.
-Spartans are big and strong.
-The following is to help seperate Spartans/Elites from normal Marines and ODSTs who also can carry turrets.
What I'm suggesting as you can infer, is meleeing with a turret. Once detached, a turret has limited ammo. When people run out of ammo, they usually drop it. It's beatdown could be something as simple as jabbing at someone with the front end, doing an uppercut, holding it like a ram or a log, a hammer, etc. Or, another idea would be to break the turret, for example rip the barrel(s) off the front of the turret, and use the piece as a bat or so. It may sound silly, but whatev. Note, the first wouldn't be a very strong beat down, depending. The others however, would be much stronger. I also think you should be able to pick up more ammo for a turret. Bring back ammo cases!

No Ammo?
Even when you run out of ammo with a weapon, you still beat down with it. What the hell? You got hands, dangit! You should be able to use it. What I'm sayin' is that when I run out of say, SMG ammo, I want to be able to either clip that to my back for later use, my belt, etc., toss it away, and get my fisticuffs goin'! A Spartan and, indeed, an Elite would fight proficiently with strength and agility with hand to hand combat. Beat downs would be fast, fun, and with Bungie's prowess, fun. Imagine. Wham! Bam! Thank ya, man! Followed by some sweet baggage of the tea sorts.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Shoot the only request I have for melee in Reach is either make the lunge consistent and reliable, or remove it all together. Other than that the animations don't matter to me, just as long as there is no edge for one model over the other.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

If you can melee with the turret, it should be really slow.

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

1.I think they let ODSTs rip turrents off,because the gameplay would be similar to H3s.
2.I like the melee idea,but maybe(say you run out of AR ammo)you should be able to smack enemies with your rifle.You could smack enemies with your weapon,or your fist.
3.I also have a thread about melee weapons(Click here)


Overall,pretty good idea.
